Katrina
I still remember seeing our neighbor setting on his porch beer in hand laughing and waving as we drove safely away. We set on the highway for hours to escape the storm that was deemed a monster. Scared to death that we wouldn't make it far enough or be blown away. It took weeks to get back to the worst horror I had ever laid my eyes on. I just wanted to go home. We started our trek across town, it took most of the day. We climbed over piles of debris that looked like mountains. Only to find that what laid on the other side was nothing more than a waste land. There was no longer that welcoming refuge we called home. As I stood there and gazed I could only remember that one last look and wave to Jeff as we drove away. Hundreds of miles and almost two years later I still wonder if he stayed or or if he meet he fate that day. G. Williams
